regions of Tanzania. The project was among 38 Alumni Engagement Innovation Fund (AEIF) awardees

of close to 700 submitted projects. Total fund awarded: $25,000 details can be viewed at

14.2. May 2016 to November 2016

Project Title: Realising women from carrying water buckets on their heads. In an attempt to address the

critical issue using my community development skills developed through study and research, I managed

to bring piped water to over 60 inhabitants to a neighbourhood of over 60 households located at

Tushikamane Street in Morogoro municipality Tanzania. Apart from using community development

skills, I provided the community with a loan worthy Tanzanian shillings 1.4 million ($700) of which Tshs

400,000 was donated by a fellow Fulbrighter Prof. Shannon Risk (at the time she was an Associate

Professor at Niagara University, New York, USA). This loan and community development skills served a

catalyst to make community members to raise a sum of nearly shillings 5.2 million to bring a major 4

inches PVC pipe covering 354 meters from the nearest tap water sources (with 1.5 inches branches

covering 300 meters) with the aim to ensure that each of the households in the neighbourhood gets tap

water. There will be more than 200 household beneficiaries of the project). The community members

have already paid 1.2 million shillings and tap water has been brought in the neighbourhood for

households to install.
